You have reached your FINAL stop on the hop! We hope you all enjoyed looking at our amazing goodies (maybe you could play along next year too).

So what is the PUMPKIN EXCHANGE? This year Betty organised for us to spend at least 25 dollars on Halloween inspired goodies for a secret partner. She provided a fantastic image which can be found HERE in Simply B Stamps store (look in the exclusives section and grab it before its gone forever). We found out who our partner was and set off buying gifts for them. My secret partner was Liw and I did a little bit of stalking to find out what her style was. I found out she made jewelry so I sent her over a beautiful bracelet with her other goodies. See what else I sent her by visiting her blog!

Then something wonderful happened! My package arrived! I was sooo excited and couldn't wait to open it!

I wasn't disappointed! My PUMPKIN EXCHANGE partner was Liw and here is her amazing card!

I couldn't believe how many goodies she managed to cram into the bag! It was stuffed full with decorations, confetti and my favourite thing in the world... CHOCOLATE and Sweedish chocolate at that! I have enjoyed eating every single cube! Thanks Liw!! Here's what was inside my package:

Now pop back to stop number 1 and maybe even visit the store ;)

Here's the Hop list incase you missed it: Make sure you visit every stop along the way!

Betty over at Simply Betty Stamps had some fantastic news recently and released this special image. This card is for her son Christian and his NEW bride Yazmin. I didn't want to post my card till after their wedding. Their colour scheme was lime, black and cream so these were the colours I chose for my card. I selected some papers from Far Far Hill and distressed the edges with the help of Tim Holtz using the tool and old paper ink pad. Next I printed some Halloween paper from Michele R Designs onto vellum. I cut out the spider and added it to the top corner leaving the spider free to jiggle in the wind.

In the spirit of Halloween I used this cute monster for my congratulations card. I chose pink as its breast cancer awareness month here in the UK. I layered up lots of pink papers and added some glossy accents to the monsters glasses. I finished off my card with some coordinating pink candi.

I'm very lucky to be a new member of Simply Create Too Design Team! Our challenge this week is #96 Halloween Colours and I just had to use one of my new Halloween Digis from Simply B Stamps (Betty is the queen of Halloween and has some fantastic digis) paired with some beautiful papers from Michele. I coloured her up in typical Halloween colours and love how she turned out!

I used my Tim Holtz distressing tool and old paper ink pad to age the edges. I finished off my card with some bat embellishments from my secret pumpkin (find out more about this on Oct 25th) and a flower created with Heartfelt creations tattered blossoms and Spellbinders foliage and a beautiful rhinestone.
